When a piece of mail is addressed to both parties, the name re ads Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. The woman's name is not mentioned. Another example that men and women are not equal are the terms used to described the sexual habits of men and women. Men who are promiscuous are considered studs, macho, ...
- 25302: Great Expectatons
- The statement "Children should be seen and not heard," is an extreme. The statement itself, targets young children as being lesser human being than their elders and having thoughts irrelevant to society. In Dicken's "Great Expectations" it is evident that the adults of that era do not wish to hear anything Pip has to say and become very indignant if he dares to venture a thought on any matter, ask a question or speak out of turn. However, in Mrs. Joe's case, the situation is different. It is not only that children should be "seen and not heard" but adults as well. Mrs. Joe feels that her opinions are the only correct opinions, therefor, allowing neither ... Pip and Joe on an equal level, refusing to hear either one of them, therefor not discriminating against Pip because of age.

- ... their social stratification. There is much opportunity in our society. Most of the opportunity is hidden, or one might be informally excluded from it.

- 25304: The Wild Life: Single and Married Couples
- ... them. Just like me on my old couch, they are utterly alone. Another major difference between singles and married couples are the amount of alcohol consumed. Drinking is an integral part of a single person's life. They go to an endless stream of parties to meet more people to fill their empty lives. They drink to loosen up, to feel confident, and to look cool. Let's face it when you are single you have to be cool. A single person always has their game face on and never let their guard down. Singles spend any money they earn on this recreation. It's a way of life. They actually save up for beer money. I remember a time in my single days when I put off my car payment for a week just to have enough money ...
